Welcome to affirmative action for white male mediocrity, which has a long, long history but is all ramped up and shouty and sulky right now.

"Republicans talk about their fear that Trump might incite his MAGA followers to commit political violence against them if they don’t rubber-stamp his actions. 'They’re scared shitless about death threats and Gestapo-like stuff.'" www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

A reminder I will be providing at least once a month for all of the remaining years of my life: Months before the 2024 election, the Department of Justice announced that there were at least six hundred Russian assets inside the United States and that some...were SITTING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.

Republican senators have totally abdicated their responsibility to the public in confirming clearly unqualified and dangerous cabinet nominees, apparently for fear of Elon-funded opposition. Let's hope voters make sure they lose anyway, because they aren't serving the people who elected them.

Lots of frightening scenarios - the worst - a court order is ignored and Elon et al are found in contempt. Judge orders the US Marshalls to arrest them for being in contempt. The new AG tells the US Marshalls that she doesn't like that ruling and tells the Marshalls not to act. No rule of law.

Where does JD get off saying that a judge can't tell anyone what to do, if that anyone is breaking a law! His law school should be ashamed and revoke his diploma!! He needs to check with his wife, who apparently did most of his law school work for him!
